Ubuntu 26.04 to Include #amd #ROCm in Official Repos (Like CUDA)

Canonical is adding AMD’s ROCm to the #Ubuntu_26.04_LTS repos, making it faster for developers to install GPU-accelerated AI and HPC libraries for AMD Instinct and Radeon GPUs. The #News mirrors September’s NVIDIA CUDA announcement, when Canonical said it would package CUDA tools in the official Ubuntu repositories, negating multi-step installation hurdles for developers to get up and running with GPU-accelerated AI/ML tasks on Ubuntu. Now, AMD already provide ROCm for Ubuntu directly via its own website/repo. What this news means is packaging and maintenance duties shift over to Canonical, which has created a dedicated engineering team to shoulder the […] You’re reading Ubuntu 26.04 to Include AMD ROCm in Official Repos (Like CUDA), a blog post from OMG!

A new version of the Power Profiles Daemon is out, bringing a number of improvements to improve power efficiency on Linux desktops, particularly on AMD devices. For those unfamiliar with it, power-profiles-daemon is a low-level component to provide power handling over DBus. Ever used the Power Mode options in the Quick Settings menu in GNOME Shell? Those options interface through this. Now that power-profiles-daemon is battery-level aware, power drivers like the Intel and AMD P-State drivers can (where supported) adjust power management based on the current battery level value. “In particular both the AMD panel power action now uses a […] You’re reading New Version of Power Profiles Daemon Improves AMD Support, a blog post from OMG!

Fin de vie : Entretien avec François Guillemot et Bertrand Riff sur Radio Campus Lille !

Ce Samedi 13 Avril, une heure avec l’AMD. Pour écouter l’émission en mp3, LE LIEN : ▻https://www-radio-campus.univ-lille1.fr/ArchivesN/LibrePensee/LP240413.mp3

La fin de vie. C’est un sujet qui fait débat en France en ce moment. La convention citoyenne sur la fin de vie a rendu ses conclusions après 27 jours de débats et d’entretiens avec une soixantaine spécialistes. Dans leur rapport, les citoyens tirés au sort déclarent : « Après en avoir largement débattu, la majorité de la Convention s’est prononcée en faveur d’une ouverture à l’aide active à mourir. »

http://federations.fnlp.fr/IMG/jpg/lp240414.jpg

Si en France l’aide active à mourir n’est pas encore possible, elle l’est par contre dans un pays tout proche : la Belgique. Pour aider les Français qui souhaitent en bénéficier, l’Association pour le Droit de Mourir dans la Dignité (ADMD) propose son aide. Elle dispose d’un local à Lille (Nord), à moins d’une heure de la Belgique. A Lille, c’est Monique et le docteur François Guillemot qui s’occupent des personnes et les accompagnent.

Release notes for the power-profiles-daemon package uploaded to Ubuntu 24.04 this week state that it is now “battery-state aware” and that “some drivers use a more power efficient state when using the balanced profile on battery”. While the power profiles daemon is low-level it enables the Power Mode options shown in the Quick Settings menu: “balanced” (default), “power saver”, and on systems where it’s supported by drivers “performance” — this update tweaks […] You’re reading Ubuntu 24.04 Improves Power Efficiency on Laptops, a blog post from OMG!
